Topic: HPE6-A73 topic 1 question 8

An administrator will be replacing a campus switching infrastructure with AOS-CX switches that support VSX capabilities. The campus involves a core, as well as multiple access layers. Which feature should the administrator implement to allow both VSX-capable core switches to process traffic sent to the default gateway in the campus VLANs?

A.
VRF
B.
VRRP
C.
IP helper
D.
Active gateway

Re: HPE6-A73 topic 1 question 8

I think the answer is D since in VSX the best practise is we use Active gateway instead of VRRP

Re: HPE6-A73 topic 1 question 8

The question just states that the switches are VSX capable. It does not say they are configured with VSX enabled. I would say that B is the correct answer given the stated question.

Page 180 Study Guide:
Remember that the VSX pair acts as the default gateway for the access VLANs. To do so, the pair uses the active gateway feature.

Re: HPE6-A73 topic 1 question 8

VSX active gateway is the only answer

Re: HPE6-A73 topic 1 question 8

should be D, the question need to allow both VSX-capable core switches to process traffic.

Re: HPE6-A73 topic 1 question 8

D is correct

Re: HPE6-A73 topic 1 question 8

D:
Remember that the VSX pair acts as the default gateway for the access VLANs. To do so, the pair uses the active gateway feature. This feature allows each switch in the pair to act as an active default gateway for the VLAN using a shared virtual IP address (VIP) and virtual MAC address. It eliminates the need for Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) or Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP). Simple to configure, the active gateway feature relies on VSX operations so it does not add any protocol overhead. It also supports redundancy for DHCP relay functions.

Re: HPE6-A73 topic 1 question 8

D is correct

Re: HPE6-A73 topic 1 question 8

Student Guide Vol.1, page 190:
It eliminates the
need for Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) or Hot Standby Router
Protocol (HSRP).
So D is correct

Re: HPE6-A73 topic 1 question 8

Answer is D, page 216

Active gateway = both devices route/forward traffic
VRRP = Active-standbye, only active member routes/forwards traffic

Re: HPE6-A73 topic 1 question 8

Answer is D, page 216

Active gateway = both devices route/forward traffic
VRRP = Active-standbye, only active member routes/forwards traffic

D - 189 page of study book

Re: HPE6-A73 topic 1 question 8

D is the correct answer as.

Understand the Active Gateway principle
In a VSX system, active gateway provides redundant default gateway functionality for
the end-hosts. The default gateway of the end-host is automatically handled by both the
VSX systems.

Re: HPE6-A73 topic 1 question 8

D is the answer

Re: HPE6-A73 topic 1 question 8

the correct Answer is D

Re: HPE6-A73 topic 1 question 8
